Bitterroot Buggers – Volunteer opportunity for final 2010 class, Sunday April 25

Rachel Tsukamoto Weissman when she was learning to fish

Sunday, April 25 4:00 - 6:00 PM at the Teller Wildlife Thomas Pond.


Thanks to all who have generously contributed  time supporting the  Bitterroot Buggers fly tying  classes.

We need your help for the last  class!

We will be casting, fishing (and grilling burgers and hot dogs !)

Not a caster or fisher person? No worries!
There are many  tasks that keep the class running smoothly - come on down!

Teller is located just outside of Corvallis. At the four-way stop in Corvallis, turn north  onto the Eastside Highway. Approximately one mile north of Corvallis, you will come to Quast Lane.   For the Slack Barn/Slack House turn west onto Quast Lane. Drive until it dead ends at Chaffin Lane. Turn south (left) onto Chaffin Lane. The Slack Barn/Slack House will be the first driveway on your right. (see below for link to a map)

We'll also draw tickets to determine the winner of the Dolak print - you'll receive one more ticket by attending - good luck!
